Replacement fees must be paid in cash at the time the replacement ID is issued. Students are to enroll within the dates given in the college calendar. Consult the college calendar for the last day to register and/or add a course(s). Assessment Q & A Who is required to present scores? Scores are required for all first-time, full-time students; all part-time students taking math or English; and all students whose programs require it (such as health programs). What test scores are accepted and why are scores necessary? A necessary part of this preparation is being aware of the students’ strengths and weaknesses and their goals. In order to obtain this information, Iowa Central requires ACT, SAT, COMPASS, ASSET, or Accuplacer test scores so they can guide students to appropriate coursework and to eventual academic success. ACT or SAT tests have usually been taken during high school. For those who have not taken them, Iowa Central offers the COMPASS test free of charge (first time) to its students (there is a fee for testing for other schools). In what subjects will I be tested? Students need to have scores from the three areas of writing, reading, and math. Who is exempt from presenting scores? Any student with a 2.0 GPA in college level English or a 2.0 in college level math should be exempt from that specific exam.; any person who holds an Associate, Bachelor’s, Master’s or Doctorate degree should be exempt.; international students with a score of at least 500 (paper) or 133 (computer) on their TOEFL should be required to take COMPASS or ASSET or to present ACT or SAT scores. However, those with less than 500 or 133 should enroll in ESL and take the test at a later date.

Iowa Central Community College 2011-2012 General Catalog 61 Criminal Justice Business Department CIP# 4301070200 Program Description: The Criminal Justice field offers many challenging career opportunities. Law Enforcement, Corrections, Judicial Services, and Forensic Laboratories are in need of qualified and trained personnel. Some of the duties in these career fields include investigations, traffic enforcement, evidence collection, inmate supervision, hunting regulation enforcement, correctional counseling, court services administration, and many more.

One of our program’s strengths is the fact that many of our instructors are currently working or have worked in the Criminal Justice field. The ranks of our teaching staff have included a police chief, a chief deputy, a detective, criminal prosecutors, a former trooper, a correctional officer, and many other local Criminal Justice personnel. The Criminal Justice program can be taken as a diploma program when 30 core semester hours are completed or as an Associate of Science or Arts degree when certain core semester hours are completed in accordance with each degree’s requirements.

Specific departmental requirements govern entry into all Criminal Justice careers. In the State of Iowa all certified law enforcement officials must first attend and successfully complete an accredited law enforcement academy. Iowa Central’s Criminal Justice Program will help prepare you for that challenge.

The Milo Range Force Training Simulator: The MILO Range is a state of the art training simulator enabling the students to be exposed to “real life” simulated force situations. The simulator has numerous capabilities including firearms training, chemical agent training, Taser train- ing, and verbal control techniques. The students can also participate in the filming of new scenarios used for future training applications. The MILO Range is a part of our Defensive Tactics course. Students also learn how to defend themselves against attack through hands on training provided by one of our Defensive Tactics instructors.

Iowa Law Enforcement Credit: Students who have graduated from the Iowa Law Enforcement Academy may receive up to 18 hours of Criminal Justice credit at Iowa Central Community College.

Program of Study: Criminal Justice is a two-year Associate in Sciences Program offered at Iowa Central Community College. Students may enroll at any of the three centers for the general education portion of the program. The Criminal Justice program can be taken as a diploma program when 30 core semester hours are completed, or an Associate in Science Degree program when 64 semester hours are completed.

Iowa Central Community College 2011-2012 General Catalog 63 Professional Pilot Business Department CIP#4901010200 Program Description: The Professional Pilot program is an FAA 141-approved course of study which provides aviation students the opportunity to obtain Private, Commercial, Instrument, and Certified Flight Instructor ratings. The student may elect to obtain Multi-engine Commercial and Multi-engine Instrument ratings. As an aviation student, you will study, in-depth, the intricacies of the challenging and exciting world of aviation. Available on sight is the CATS, Computer Assisted Testing Service. With this service, you can conveniently take the required FAA written tests for each rating and immediately know the results.

Required courses of study include basic and advanced aerodynamics, pre- and postflight procedures, airport operations, including radio commu- nications, traffic pattern operations, airport/runway markings and lighting. Navigation (radio and visual), basic and advanced flight maneuvers, basic and advanced instrument maneuvers, emergency procedures, night flight operations and basic aircraft mechanical theory will be studied as well. You not only learn to fly single-engine aircraft, but have the opportunity to further your aviation experience in high-performance, complex and multi-engine aircraft.

Upon completion of the program, the aviation graduate receives an Associate of Science Degree in Professional Pilot. This program is offered each fall and spring with the exception of flight labs that are offered year-round. Professional Pilot graduates are prepared for entry-level employ- ment as Certified Flight Instructors - the primary starting position for new, professional pilots. Other entry-level positions include sightseeing, pipeline/powerline patrol, and banner towing. Aviation career guidance and internet job-search access are available through the flight staff. Students who possess aviation ratings may obtain credit for courses through the advanced standing process.

A 3rd class flight physical must be passed before flying solo. The physical must be completed with an FAA certified physician. A list of certified physicians may be obtained from the registrar’s office.

Program Description: The Medical Laboratory Technician (MLT) program prepares the student to perform a full range of laboratory tests – from a simple blood glucose test to complex tests to uncover diseases such as HIV and cancer. Medical Laboratory Technicians must work quickly and accurately. The information they give to the doctors influences the medical treatment a patient receives. In their search for data on a patient’s health, MLTs obtain blood samples from patients of all ages. They analyze blood, urine and other body fluids using a microscope or other complex precision instruments.

Program Requirements: Students must earn a grade of a “C” or better in all Medical Laboratory Technician program of study courses and meet the necessary prerequisites to progress in the program. Students must complete the program with a grade point average of 2.0 or better. (Effective Fall 2009)

Student Responsibilities: Students receive clinical practice at a clinical site determined by the MLT Coordinator. All MLT students must com- plete a Medical Health form and a Criminal Record/Child and Adult Abuse Check prior to attending clinical. Students must begin the hepatitis immunization series during their enrollment in Fundamentals of Laboratory Science. Transportation to the clinical site is the responsibility of the student. Students are required to purchase a lab coat and gloves. Graduates of the program are eligible to take the MLT certification exam administered by the American Society of Clinical Pathologists (ASCP) or National Certifying Agency (NCA).

Accreditation: The Medical Laboratory Technician Program is accredited by the NAACLS, National Accrediting Agency for Clinical Labora- tory Science, 8410 W. Bryn Maur Ave, Suite 670, Chicago, IL 60631, (773) 714-8880

Admission Requirements: Successful completion of high school Biology and Algebra or equivalent is required. Required courses must be taken prior to entering the program.
